[Dixielandjazz] Dixielandjazz Digest, Vol 49, Issue 66

[Judy Eames]

Well said "dbendle"

How about a be nice to each other  month?  While we're at it how about the 
"cartoon music" posters  form a separate list, that thread seems to be going 
for the record and going round in circles just like records.

Now on a positive note..... who's going to Tamas's Bohem Ragtime Jazz 
Festival?  There are about 30 of us going from the UK .... some for the 
third time.   It's the only festival I know where the organisers fix the 
whole trip, airport transfers, excursions, hotels and music.  Great 
atmosphere, great music.
